Chapter 5
I was slightly stunned.
They had been together for half a month…
It turned out that during the time I was away, Oscar had been immersed in the joy of regaining what he had lost.
But I still wondered if he would be sad and regretful.
It was really ridiculous.
I pressed my lips tightly, trying to suppress the bitterness in my heart.
“Well… That’s good, and I wish Oscar happiness…”
Sharon didn’t seem to notice my strange mood.
I wasn’t in the mood to say anything more, so I quickly found an excuse and hung up the phone.
It was late at night, and I was getting ready to rest.
Suddenly, a strange phone call came in.
I did not know why, but my first instinct reminded me that it was Oscar.
I took a deep breath and then answered the phone.
The next second, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Bella, Sharon said you are getting married. Is this true?”
My fingers gently stroked the edge of the phone, with mixed feelings in my heart, but I still tried to make my voice sound calm.
“It’s true, Oscar. I’m getting married next week.”
On the other end of the phone, his voice seemed to freeze for a moment, and then it sounded low and complex.
“Why? It’s sudden, and we…”
I interrupted him, not wanting to get dragged down into the past, “Oscar, we… have broken up, and there is no going back between us. This marriage is a decision made by me and my family, and it is also a new beginning for me.”
“A new beginning?”
He repeated it with a hint of anger in his tone.
“Bella, are you sure this is what you want? Or are you just trying to be mad at me?”
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and as I opened them again, my eyes were filled with determination.

“You think too much. I’m not angry.

“This is a choice I made after careful consideration. I need to move on, and you, haven’t you made your own choice as well?”
“Are you talking about Donna?”
His tone was somewhat anxious and annoyed.
“I told you, what happened between her and me is not what you think! I…”
I couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted indifferently, “How is that?
“Oscar, at this point, are you still planning to lie to me?
“I’ve been with you for four years, and I’m devoted to you. You can dislike me and use me as a substitute. Falling in love with you is my business, and I accept it!
“But can you at least be honest with me? If you don’t love me, then you can admit it. Why do you have to coax me like a fool?”
“No, I…”
Oscar subconsciously wanted to explain, but he choked and didn’t know how to start.
I didn’t want to wait for his hypocritical response, so I said indifferently, “Oscar, I wish you happiness. We won’t bother

each other anymore in the future.”

Finishing saying that, I hung up the phone without waiting for him to respond.
I held the phone in my hand, looking at my reflection on the screen. My eyes unconsciously reddened.
Tears fell one by one like pearls from a broken string.
This time, I really would give up the man I had loved for four
years.
It was fake that I was not upset.
But people always had to learn to grow up and learn to let go.
The next day, our parents met formally for the engagement
ceremony.
Looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window, I felt a little uneasy for some reason.
I had never met Raymond Brown, the marriage partner of the Brown family.
In a family background like ours, marrying a stranger was a common and normal thing.
Of course, I also believed in my parents.

had never interacted with before was also a risky gamble.
Therefore, before I met Oscar, I was always disgusted with the marriage alliance between families.
The love I yearned for must be one in which both parties knew and cherished each other, and it lasted forever.
It was not that the two people had no love at all and were just living together for the sake of profit.
